Hi all,
Long story short, I put myself in the ER about 5 weeks ago thinking I was having a heart attack. Everything came back normal, but still had typical anxiety symptoms and thoughts: Headaches, dizziness, detachment, muscle twitching, stomach pain, hypochondria, etc. This is my first panic attack and first bout of anxiety (which my primary diagnosed me with a week after the hospitalization).
2 days ago, I thought I might be having a stroke, or on the road to one, as my mom had one at 40 (I'm 29). Somehow, that night, I calmed myself down and convinced myself it's anxiety. The stroke freakout was enough to give me one hell of a headache that night, though. As we speak, all symptoms are gone except the dizziness/lightheadedness (not like the environment is spinning, but spinning in my head/feeling faint).
Is it normal to feel dizziness/lightheadedness after something like this? Any advice?
